Is This The Saddest Piece Of Furniture Ever?

A dining table aimed at single people

Bridget Jones is the (fictional) person who brought the word "singleton" to the general vernacular, but we think that even she would be 100% against IKEA Malaysia's newest product, the "LÖNE singleton dining table."

Bringing new meaning to "dining for one," the table looks like a standard small IKEA piece except for the mirror set up facing the lone diner.

While we suspect this may be a joke (could Malaysia celebrate April Fools' Day earlier than us?) we're already enjoying the commentary on the table. IKEA calls it "perfect for those times you wished you had someone to eat with at home," though we think The Frisky nails it with their suggestion: "The only thing missing is a dish to collect the puddle of tears as you watch yourself chew meatloaf."

Commenters on Facebook seem to be getting into the game, with one fan of the brand identifying an additional clever way to make this work: "This is waste of money if used as a dining table, but it's great if used as makeup table!" And another coming up with a slightly odd, very specific suggestion: "Should switch the mirror to a framed picture of David Duchovny."

(We'll stick to watching TV from the sofa, for the record.)

Tell us: Do you think this is a real product? And if so, would you buy it?
